COVID-19 Update

On August 31, 2021, Governor Roy Cooper signed Executive Order 229, which extends the statewide standing orders for COVID-19 testing and vaccinations.

In following with the Governor's Order, the Town of Kill Devil Hills has extended its State of Emergency Order. 

Update from the Dare County Department of Health and Human Services 

Dare County is continuing to experience widespread community transmission of the COVID-19 virus. 

NC DHHS epidemiological data indicates the state and Dare County are in the middle of another surge of COVID-19 infections. The Delta variant is believed to be the most prevalent variant in Dare County at this time. The CDC and NC DHHS indicate it is a significantly more contagious variant. For every one person infected by the Delta variant it is estimated they may spread the virus to 6 other individuals. Getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself against COVID-19. People who are vaccinated are far less likely to get infected with COVID-19 than those who are not vaccinated. Based on self-reports during contact tracing interviews, in the low percentage of breakthrough cases, individuals who are vaccinated are experiencing mild to no symptoms. 

In addition to getting vaccinated, other ways you can protect yourself and your family include limiting prolonged direct contact with unvaccinated individuals who do not live in your household, and washing your hands frequently with soap and water or using hand sanitizer. It is also recommended that all individuals in Dare County wear a mask indoors, as Dare County is currently considered an area of high community transmission.
